Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 150°C. Process biscuits in a food processor until finely crushed. Add butter. Process to combine. Spoon into a 12cm x 34cm rectangular fluted tart pan, with removable base. Press over base and sides of pan. Place in the fridge for 30 mins to chill.
  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, place the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice and lemon rind in a food processor and process until smooth. Add eggs, caster sugar and 1 tbs of the Pimm’s and process until smooth.
  3. Step 3

    Pour cream cheese mixture into the base. Bake on a baking tray for 30 mins or until just set. Turn oven off. Cool in oven, with door ajar, for 1 hour. Place in the fridge for 2 hours or until chilled.
  4. Step 4

    While the cheesecake is baking, place remaining Pimm’s, extra caster sugar and 2 tbs water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until sugar dissolves and syrup thickens slightly. Transfer to small bowl. Place in the fridge to chill.
  5. Step 5

    Use an electric mixer to beat cream and icing sugar in a bowl until soft peaks form. Spoon over cheesecake. Arrange the cucumber, strawberry, mint and orange zest on top. Drizzle with syrup.
